On Monday, Wizards of the Coast confirmed a long rumoured new edition of D&D was in the works. The new edition, which no one is officially calling 5th edition, promises to be a 'greatest hits' version of D&D, combining well-liked elements of all previous editions of the game. The game will also be somewhat modular, meaning that subsections of rules can be dropped or added in based on the style or tone of game being run. This new edition will be subject to large-scale open playtest starting at GenCon 2012 where WOTC will take suggestions from their players as to the conent and future of the game
